Contests by Rewards Fuel

描述

Contests by Rewards Fuel connects your WordPress site to the Rewards Fuel platform. Use this plugin to embed live contests on any post or page. Create contests, entry methods, prizes, and rules in the Rewards Fuel web dashboard — the plugin handles connection and embedding.

What this plugin does

  • Connect your site with an API key from Account WordPress Integration in the dashboard
  • View your contests inside WordPress admin Rewards Fuel
  • Copy a shortcode or use the Rewards Fuel Contest Gutenberg block
  • Embed the contest widget on posts, pages, and most themes
  • Link out to the dashboard to edit contests, view stats, and pick winners

What you build in Rewards Fuel (not inside WordPress)

  • Contest schedule, rules, prizes, and appearance
  • Entry methods (social actions, newsletter signup, questions, referrals, and more — by plan)
  • Hosted contest page at r-f.page or embed on your own site
  • Statistics, CSV export, winner selection, and prize claim flow

Popular entry methods

Available entry methods depend on your plan. Examples include:

  1. Click to enter — simple one-click entry
  2. Newsletter signup — collect email addresses (with optional confirmation for newsletter entries)
  3. Refer a friend — bonus entries when friends enter via a share link
  4. Answer a question — collect feedback or quiz answers
  5. Visit a URL — drive traffic to a landing page
  6. Code word — entrants enter a secret phrase
  7. Social actions — Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and more (link-based actions; availability varies by plan)
  8. Email list member — allow pre-approved emails on your contest list to enter
  9. File upload — photo or document submissions

Platform features (dashboard)

  • Physical and digital prizes — upload digital prize files; winners claim online
  • Geo restrictions — block selected countries from entering
  • Bot protection — optional Cloudflare Turnstile per contest
  • Custom appearance — colors, fonts, backgrounds, and widget wording
  • 11 widget languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese
  • Contest statistics — entries, methods, countries, traffic, referrers, device breakdown, and entrant summaries
  • CSV export — download confirmed entrants from the dashboard
  • Winner tools — random or manual winner selection; optional auto-pick and winner notification emails when the contest ends
  • Scheduled draws — weekly, daily, or end-of-contest prize draws while live
  • Copy a contest — duplicate setup for your next campaign

[rewardsfuel id="YOUR_CONTEST_REF"]

Legacy shortcodes still work:

Or add the Rewards Fuel Contest block in the block editor.

常見問題

Do I create contests inside WordPress?

No. Contests are created and managed at app.rewardsfuel.com. This plugin lists your contests and embeds them on your site.

How do I connect my account?

Sign in to Rewards Fuel, open Account WordPress Integration, generate an API key, then paste it on Rewards Fuel Your account in WordPress.

How do I embed a contest?

Use the shortcode shown in the plugin contest list, for example [rewardsfuel id="2BB52"], or insert the Rewards Fuel Contest block and choose a contest.

Does the plugin sync entries to Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or other email tools?

No. The WordPress plugin does not export or sync entrants to third-party email providers. You can collect emails with a newsletter entry method and export entrants to CSV from the Rewards Fuel dashboard.

Can I export my contestants?

Yes — from the Rewards Fuel dashboard Stats tab for each contest (CSV download). That export is not built into the WordPress admin screens.

What statistics are available?

In the dashboard: total and unique entries, entries by method, top countries, traffic and referrers, device breakdown, live entry feed, entrant summaries, and winner history. Depth of stats views depends on your plan.

Are social entries verified automatically?

Most social entry methods use trackable links or on-page actions. They encourage the desired action but are not the same as deep API verification for every network. Facebook Like and Instagram follow verification is limited industry-wide.

Can I run the contest on a hosted page instead of WordPress?

Yes. Every contest has a hosted URL at r-f.page in addition to the embed shortcode.

What does this cost?

There is a free tier. Paid plans add more entry methods and statistics. See rewardsfuel.com/pricing.

I came across Rewards Fuel a few years ago, and have used them a number of times as an effortless way to run contests. I’ve always been happy with them – Rochelle’s support is second to none – but I’m pretty hard to please so I rarely leave reviews (at times the UI was a little clunky). However recently the team at Rewards Fuel have really upped their game: the UI is slick and easy to use, SUPER FAST, and is a great ambassador for my brand. Added to which, they have detailed metrics to prove increased engagement which I’m sure will lead to improved sales. I’m very happy with Rewards Fuel and I recommend them to everyone (except my competitors!) Thanks RF and thanks Rochelle 🙂

I have worked with Rewards Fuel for a few years now and they have hosted several of my contests. Rochelle has been extremely easy to work with and is on top of all of the details for me, which makes running my contest a breeze. She is also able to customize the contests completely with images and text details to make it unique and on brand. I will definitely be using Rewards Fuel for our upcoming 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways later in the year. It’s a huge campaign and I wouldn’t want anyone else running our 12 days of contesting besides Reward Fuel. I can rest easy knowing that all the details are handled and the contests will run smoothly and efficiently. – Natalie Langston

Rewards Fuel offers a high-quality product that doesn’t break the bank. Their customer service goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure customer success. We have worked with RF for just over 1 year now and haven’t considered switching once. Their entire team truly cares and appreciates their clients and it shows with their ever evolving platform and the care to details they provide to clients.

I contacted support about customizing the style of the winner emails. I received a response right away. The support agent coordinated with the developer to accommodate my requests. I was very impressed with the quick attention and follow through. I appreciated their efforts and excellent customer service!
